Don't get me wrong, if I had the budget, there'd be a powerglide in my car. I'm not recommending stock shafts either...I know mine is a timebomb. Just stating what I've done.
I assumed what you stated. I know i am skating close to thin ice, but i have backed myself into an empty race budget with the new motor and total rebuild of my trans . Originally i had planned to stay at 550 cubes, but a great deal on a longer arm crank came my way and i couldn't resist. Soooooooo, as mentioned earlier i plan on leaving soft and will upgrade to the input shaft and hub. Hopefully it will live a while. But i just remembered i have the GM bolt pattern, so that is one little item out of the way for a changeover to glide, ahould i need to go that way.
